Southdown Sand available....

[Red Sea Purple Tang]

You've seen the stuff, ya love the stuff. $15/bag.

[Patrick G.]

Where are you getting this stuff? Email me.

[Patrick G.]

And how long do you think I could safely store this stuff?

[Red Sea Purple Tang]

:bounce3: Pat's back!! Good to hear from ya.

Where am I getting this stuff? I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you...next question....it's from a guy in the Jeff City area. He has inlaws in the Springfield area, so transport isn't a problem.

How long will it last? I would guess a heck-of a long time. I've had bags in my garage for going on 2 years and it's still nice and sifty.

Great avitar by the way!

I am in the Huntsville, AL area on buisness and have been desperatly trying to find this stuff...i have come very close...but from what i can tell its silica sand...Where are you getting it, as in your vendor

thanks ED

[Patrick G.]

A, how many bags am I gonna need for my 75?

[Red Sea Purple Tang]

Hmmmm....I have 450lbs in the 100g. I would guess 6-7.

Eddy: There's a guy near Jefferson City who gets the sand. I believe he gets it from a Home Depot in Kentucky.

If you still have some southdown I sure would be interested in some?

Been out of touch lately as my 3 month old son takes all my time now but things are getting all settled in.

Good to hear from you! How many bags were you wanting?
How do you like the T5's?

[dragon2]

I could use some as well if you have any left. I'm setting up my first SW tank. Trying to get everthing I need before I start.

Hey John! Welcome to the SEAS Forum! Where in Missouri are you located?

How many bags were you wanting?

[dragon2]

Thanks for the welcome! I live near Carthage.

I think 10-12 bags should do it. It's a 180 gal. Does that sound about right?

John: I have 450lbs (9 bags in a 6x16ish) tank and it's good.

** I'm putting the sand order in soon, so those who want some, please let me know the amount **

[Talonn]

RedSea,

I would like 6 bags if possible.

Also I really like the T5's. I have slowly been adding a few frags and I must say my pulsating xenias are growing like weeds. I have a LTA at the bottom and its doing great and a couple sps apcropora are going great as well. My tanks depth is only 16" so I am sure that plays a factor but I really like the T5 so far.

Hey Chris: You're in Lebanon right?

[Talonn]

Yes, I am in Lebanon.

Also if you would be so kind, send me a PM with payment details for the southdown and joining details. With me being up here I am not sure if I can catch you at a meeting.

:blown: In regards to our Southdown order. This is the reply I got from Greg our Southdown guy:

Well . . . . . there is bad news. Tony, from the local fishstore has been buying sand from me. He knows where I keep it. He needed a bunch the other day to set up a 180. So he came by and picked it up when I was not home. So the short of it is I do not have any more sand for sale. Sorry man, I will not have anymore until Spring.

To say this is a real bummer is an understatement as I was needing some as well.
